Subject: Weak sound with VIA Apollo Pro
Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 02:09:43 GMT
Yes i have the 'weak sound' problem with my
Apollo Pro motherboard.
I have a Gigabyte GA-6VX-4X motherboard
which uses VIA Apollo Pro VT82C694X North Bridge
chip and the VT82C686A South Bridge chip
I am using the onboard sound.
Under Win98 the sound is significantly weaker
than my old SB16. ie. without amplified speakers
i didn't notice that the sound was actually
working.
With amplified speakers everything is working
fine.
Under linux Redhat 6.2 kernel 2.2.14, however i
just cant get the sound to work.
I compiled in VIA chipset sound option but
no joy as yet.

Eliminar el "dynamic link" java del /usr (si existe) y crear uno nuevo

Also check out the umask, uid, and gid options. For example, adding the
umask=777 option will make all the files readable and writable by everyone.
On my machine, I have a group called "dos" and I set the gid of my win
partition to that and set the umask to 077.

Subject: autoloading of scsi modules
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 19:40:45 -0700
I'm having a bear of a time trying to get scsi module loading working. I
have a cheapie aha152 card with a microtek scanner attached. This combo
does work okay, even though it does tend to hog the bus when
scanning....oh well, another day and I may have some more $s to put into
this system.
I'm using the xsane/sane package for the scanner.
But, on to the problem. I have the following in my /etc/conf.modules:
alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x
post-install sg modprobe aha152x
options aha152x aha152x=0x140,9
With a 2.2.x kernel my understanding (obviously wrong) when xsane is
started up it should load the aha152x module? It isn't. When I start
xsane I get the message 'no devices available' popup. So...what do I
need to do to get this working.
If I use 'modprobe aha152x' then the aha152x module is loaded, and then
when I run xsane the sg module is loaded (and it appears to unload
later).
So, how do I get the aha152x module to load? I guess I'm missing a magic
command in my conf.modules file, but can't figure what.
BTW, I'm doing all this as root right now, so permissions shouldn't be a
problem (that will all come later).

Try fdisk -l /dev/hd? where ? is your hd such as /dev/hda
That will spit out the partition table with no risk of writing
anything.
See what partitions you have. You may have just messed it up
so that it's not mounting in /etc/fstab.

You can boot a floppy made from any Linux boot image
that supports your hd and just do
mount root=/dev/hd???
to mount the Linux from the hd. Only thing is,
it takes forever. You're better off to make a
Linux kernel with lots of modules, so that it
fits on the floppy then set it to the hd partition
with rdev. That boots much faster.

after you made the changes you need to reboot so that lilo is read
again.

I just noticed that I get " musha.com:/: Invalid argument" error when I do a
exportfs -a
I have the following in my hosts file:
168.192.0.11 musha.com musha
I read in the HOWTO to do a rpcinfo and everthing is there. I also made sure
nfsd, mound, and protmap was in my init list
I just noticed something else, one of the lines in ps reads: (btw -
everything else is there)
rpc.mountd --no-nfs-version 3
What???? I never saw that before, Any idea on how to change that?

it's on /etc/sysconfig/clock
but he only has to execute: hwclock --systohc
once, on the command line, and all his problems will vanish forever...
of course, the correct way :) is to have the HW clock set as
UTC, and set the system clock = hw clock + timezone offset
(hwclock --hctosys --utc)
but the opposite also works, with the advantage of being

Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 22:42:45 -0500
when performing a pnpdump, with no parameters, it lists my enet KNE20
Kingston adapter at 0x240 with IRQ3.
However, when I perform:
pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf
I get an error that reports 0x0000 is out of range and does not write the
file. I ran the Kingston adapter setup, which does not detect the adapter.
Funny thing about all this is, that previous to this, I was using this
adapter on the same MB under windows 95 w/0 any problems.
Aside from the card being damaged, or defective, is there another way to
test this to r/o a dead card with Linux?
Thanks in advance.

I think the order is wrong. I think it was SCO then Novell. Last I heard,
the Unix trademark ended up as the property of some consortium or other.
(X-Open?)
Getting something tested and certified as Unix(tm) costs money (on the order
of 20K USD) and takes time. Nobody has cared enough to go to the trouble to
get Linux certified. At one point, somebody was going to get it Posix
certified, but I don't know what happend to that effort. From a user or
programmer point of view there is far less difference between Linux and some
of the "official" Unixes than there is between some of the other "official"
Unixes. (Does that last sentance parse?)

The fastest and simplest way for you to learn linux will be to find a good

Novell transferred ownership to UNIX System Laboratories, who were then
acquired by SCO, who have since transferred the trademark to The Open
Group.

I think it parses better if it's spelled "sentence" :-).
You're missing the *other* problem, which is that there is a license fee
associated with being able to use the UNIX trademark. In order to call
a particular product UNIX, you have to:
a) Pay the certification fee, which, as you observe, nobody has felt it
worth paying for, and
b) Pay a fee for every license issued. Which means that "Linux, the New
Unix", would no longer be able to be free.
There's still another problem: UNIX certification mandates including
STREAMS functionality, which is not part of any official Linux kernel.
